[NBLUG/talk] How to uninstall mySQL? Any expert can help?

[Johnson Leung]

Yes, I did notice that. In fact, I actually used grep -i mysql. Sorry for
the typo.

After I re-install,
# rpm -i MySQL-server-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm
# rpm -qa | grep -i mysql

I only have two packages: MySQL-client-4.0.18-0 and MySQL-server-4.0.18-0.

But I think there are other packages that I am missing, such as:
mysql-server-3.23.54a-11
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-5
MySQL-python-0.9.1-6
mod_auth_mysql-1.11-12
php-mysql-4.2.2-17
qt-MySQL-3.1.1-6
MyODBC-2.50.39-11
mysql-devel-3.23.54a-11
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3
mysql-3.23.54a-11

How can I install those? 

BTW, is there any use of the Desktop Add or Remove Application?

Thanks,
Johnson

the big thing that seems to be tripping you up here, is that unix/linux is
case-sensitive.  notice that you did a grep on an all lower-case pkg name,
and you did a removal on an upper-case pkg name.  try doing a "grep -i" on
that rpm -qa output - i bet you'll find your other mysql pkgs.  in fact,
further down your message (that part i snipped), you even got an error that
told you the pkg name that was installed (mysql-server.)

good luck,
